DURING May and June, BAMcafe Live features the annual Sista Factory residency, which showcases newer acts. Tonight, Las Rubias del Norte, “the Blondes of the North,” hit the stage with its seven-piece LatinoMediterranean group of musicians from the United States, France and Colombia.

The group will play the music of Cuba and Venezuela, with a dash of Mozart added to the mix. Tomorrow night, Barbez (pictured) – which leans toward a combo of cabaret, punk and chamber music – performs. The group sets an otherworldly mood with marimbas and vibes, and is influenced by all sorts of things – including Slavic folk songs, Argentine tango and modern classical. Both shows begin at 10 p.m.; no cover, $10 food/drink minimum; BAMcafe, 30 Lafayette Ave., Brooklyn; (718) 636-4139; bam.org.
